Always worth a visit to Newstead Abbey it's a beautiful building with wonderful gardens to wonder around and get lost in the beauty

Robin Hood was basically a thief

Newstead Abbey, located in Nottinghamshire, England, originally served as an Augustinian priory. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was converted into a private residence. Today, it is most renowned as the ancestral home of Lord Byron. The priory of St. Mary of Newstead, established by King Henry II of England around 1170, was a house for Augustinian Canons. Despite its present name, Newstead was never an abbey but rather a priory.

An early 13th century motte and bailey castle in Annesley Park. The motte is 120 feet wide, but now stands only 6 feet high. The bailey was defended by a bank and moat, but only traces of this are now visible.

Updated 2024, access to the castle is now severely limited due to the new land owner, can only be viewed from a fenced path across the field. The Codnor castle heritage trust is no longer involved with on site activities.

It is not for nothing that the building and park were used by Warner Bros in 2012 as a backdrop for the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises”. selected. A really beautiful building that stands out on the hill and the park around it. Unfortunately, like many (if not all) historic buildings in and around Nottingham, it only opens from 11am.

The Legend of Sherwood! You can find spots with realtion to Robin Hood in the whole city.

The castle is on private land, having been sold off. English Heritage maintains the ruins...but there's no access to the site other than a footpath, which goes past it.

Newstead Abbey was a 12th centaury monastery. Over the years it became home to Romantic Poet Lord Byron. The abbey and the grounds are open to visitors.

Nottingham is lifting on the legend of Robin Hood quite heavily. The statue is in front of the castle, Sherwood Forest a bit to the north by car.

Lovely scenic ride through the grounds of Newstead Abbey.

Wollaton Park is a large park home to a variety of wildlife including, two herds of wild deer, 90 Red and 120 Fallow.

Must do Nottingham attraction.

The walled gardens are beautiful.

Accessible with big dogs as the one stile you come across has a gap down the side - as all good stiles should have! Keep to the pink markers if approaching/crossing Ormonde Fields Golf Course, although most golfers are friendly. Codnor Castle Heritage Trust have reenactments here from time to time. Venturing further down the hill behind ( or in front?!) of the castle leads you across a small bridge to a gravel loop trail.

Once a prosperous priory, today Newstead Abbey is a magnificent setting with beautifully curated gardens. A particular highlight is the Japanese water garden. Back in medieval times, outlaws would often target the shipments coming in and out of the priory. Royalty were no strangers to the place either, with both King Richard I and King John using it as a base when hunting in Sherwood.

A marvellous 16th-century Elizabethan country house, the striking symmetrical architecture of Wollaton Hall now houses a natural history museum. The park that surrounds the hall is a lovely place for an afternoon ramble. Fallow deer roam the grounds, whilst its popular lake boasts a nature trail.

A visit to the Robin Hood statue is a must when visiting Nottingham.

Medieval Castle and seat of the De Grey family, now in ruins but well worth a visit, especially if it coincides with one of the Codnor Castle Heritage Trusts open days
